Coola Mineral BB Cream Sunscreen Matte Tint SPF30 Review
COOLA Mineral BB Sunscreen shields your skin from harmful UV rays with a physical sun filter factor 30 and enhances your skin with a subtle touch of natural tint and a matte finish.
The Most Important Thing About This Sunscreen Is…
The COOLA Mineral BB Sunscreen offers strong sun protection with a mineral-based, broad spectrum SPF 30 that is gentle to sensitive and acne-prone skin. The lightweight formula goes on sheer, leaving behind a beautiful natural tint and a matte finish – without the annoying white cast that you can get from other physical sun blockers. Infused with nourishing antioxidants like organic rosehip oil and organic evening primrose oil, it also provides skin-refining ingredients and remains water-resistant for up to 40 minutes.
You Will Love This If…
I highly recommend the COOLA Mineral BB Sunscreen, if you’re looking for a mineral sunscreen that perfects your skin with essential nutrients and a natural-looking matte tint, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.
The Formula:
The COOLA Mineral BB Sunscreen uses zinc oxide as a physical UV filter that forms a protective barrier on your skin’s surface to block harmful sun rays. Luckily, this mineral ingredient is well-tolerated by sensitive and acne-prone skin. The formula is further enriched with organic rosehip oil, which is abundant in vitamin C and essential fatty acids. These components play a crucial role in promoting cell regeneration, resulting in less visible fine lines. Finally, organic evening primrose oil helps your skin retain moisture, leaving your skin soft and smooth.
The Texture
The formula is creamy, rich and velvety. It effortlessly blends into my skin, leaving it feeling incredibly smooth. What surprised me the most is that it doesn’t give me that tight feeling I expect from a mattifying product. Instead, it has a dry-to-touch texture that feels like natural skin. It’s so comfortable that I often forget I’m wearing it.
The Finish
The sunscreen has a matte and shine-free finish. It leaves your complexion with a subtle touch of tint to enhance your natural skin tone. The SPF itself is completely sheer and invisible. It seamlessly blends into your skin.
How Should You Apply It?
As part of my morning ritual, I would smooth the sunscreen generously onto my entire face. Make sure to shake the bottle well before using it to prevent any oil separation. COOLA recommends applying it 15 minutes before going out in the sun.
How Often Do You Need To Reapply?
Remember to reapply sunscreen at least every 2 hours. Also, top up your COOLA BB Mineral Sunscreen after 40 minutes of swimming or sweating and immediately after towel drying as this can remove the product from the skin.
What’s Special About The Bottle?
The COOLA Mineral BB Sunscreen comes in a compact size that is TSA-approved. So, you can bring it in your carry-on bag when travelling by plane, without any restriction issues and maintain your sun protection routine on your holidays.
Values?
COOLA follows a strict restricted ingredient list that surpasses industry standards. Excluding over 1000+ questionable or harmful ingredients, such as petrolatum, paraffin, parabens and synthetic fragrances, they prioritise the safety of their formulas for your skin. Plus, the COOLA Mineral Sunscreen is vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free and compliant with Hawaii Reef regulations, so it won’t harm marine life.
